Covid By The Numbers

 If you go browse over to a national database (for Germany) on Covid, and pull up the Wiesbaden page.....you get to some interesting numbers.

1.  Since day 1 (going back to 2020), there's been 17,079 cases of Covid, out of 283,000 residents.

2.  350 of the cases were kids under the age of four, with zero deaths.

3.  1,521 of the cases were kids 5 to 14 years old.  Zero deaths.

4.  In the 15 to 34 year old group, there were 5,629 cases of Covid, with one single reported death.  This leads to a .01-percent chance of death statistically.

5.  For the 35 to 59 year old group, there were 6,470 cases of Covid, with 20 reported deaths.  This leads to a .30-percent chance of death.

6.  For the 60 to 79 year old group, there were 1,999 cases of Covid since day one, with a total of 98 deaths reported.  This leads to a 4.9-percent chance of death (call it a 5-percent).  

7.  In the 80-year old and more range?  There were 1,032 cases of Covid, with 177 deaths.  That's a 17.1-percent chance of death. 

8.  Male - Female ratio?  Well....presently....women are slightly ahead out of the 17k cases of infection....say by 10-percent.  However, when you do the death numbers....it's a 171 men dead from Covid in the city....over 121 women.  Logical assumptions?  Men might have worse lifestyles for health (especially older guys)?  Some people might pursue that angle.

I went through a dozen cities/towns.  Some bigger....some smaller.  The statistics generally stay in the same group (more men than women die from the virus). Up to age 34, there just aren't that many deaths reported.  Age sixty and up?  That eats up around 95 percent of deaths generally.  

If you had a particular community or city to gaze at for numbers, here's the site.
